Today was a great day.We watched /m/ win over a 12-point master race /vr/.We watched /fit/ lose to /tv/.We watched /o/ completely demolish /soc/.We watched /d/ ripping /vp/ a new one almost like they did /hm/.And we watched /co/ beat /b/.

/qa/ can't enter a team in the cup until Autumn, and even then they might be denied entry if Boris or the 4cc Commission thinks that 61 teams would be too much for the cup.

However, one thing is certain: /qa/ have permission to enter unofficial friendly games and invitational tournaments. Last thread, we reshuffled the squad and thought up a few kits, but we're still managerless.

Pic related was the first kit design, the following was the latest roster an anon made:

/qa/ doesn't need publicty trough 4chan cup, stop it before you cause an shitstorm that will kill this board, if people discover this board by other means it's alright, 4cc brings a lot of crossboarders , same like last year /sp/ was flooded with /a/ and vice-versa. Now imagine /qa/ ending up to play vs one of the fast paced boards like /v/ , /a/ or /b/I and many others do not want to keep this place as skirit club because it will eventually die, but that also doesn't mean we should openly advertise ourselves, if linking /qa/ into one thread on /b/ causes this much of shitposting, as you all could see few days ago, then imagine if we would face couple thousands of /b/tards who were watching 4cc.

>>114210Alright now, even if it's 2k, an average thread has about 70 - 90 posters in 250 replies, now imagine what happens if the thread brings more than average, and threads solely to shitpost the board get created. Now imagine what would happen with 4cc, summer, /b/ , /v/, /a/ or all combined together to go an shitpost /qa/.

>>114201It's too late. /b/ knows and has raided along with 4+4 chan.I still like that it's unlisted but it's not a sekrit club. Hey, make that a name instead of punky being a player. (No offense punky)>>114209See above

>>114678>/vr/, first team to ever win all matches in their group stage loses first round of knockouts>not /o/'s year>robot /cgl/ 3rd>top scoring /d/ going to shit the last two matches, still tied for most goals in a cup ever>/co/ /tv/ final>most well known teams relegatedIt could have been better honestly.

>>117318To be fair, avatarfagging is when you actually try to use your pictures as a persona. It's a fine line between liking a character and having a lot of reaction pics of someone, and legitimately being an avatarfag.

Seriously though Punky, it's probably best that you keep track of how many things you have posted with themed pics. There are people just looking for excuses to ban you for whatever reason they can think of.

I have nothing against tripfags, but there are those who do not share my humble opinion.

If we're going to make a team, we're confirmed for a friendly with /gd/ at some stage.

1. We need a manager - someone who identifies with a tripcode (no, it will not be Punky)2. We need to decide our colors, which seem to be blue and white at the moment.3. We need to finalize a squad along with the medals.4. We discuss the cards that each player receives, the heights, the tactics, the formations and the playing styles for /qa/. The manager can use this thread to discuss tests.5. Once all is done, the manager creates an export for the /qa/ Football Club for others to play around with, so /qa/ users can suggest ideas for the team.6. The /qa/ manager applies the team to be part of the cup, but not as a competing team in official cup tournaments, only for friendlies and invitationals. /qa/ cannot compete until the Autumn Babby Cup in roughly 4-6 months time due to the board being too young, and even then playing in a cup is a slippery slope due to the excessive number of teams (60 in total including ded teams). 40 alone compete in the Babby Cup, but recently 4 ded teams were allowed to play on autopilot, with three qualifying for Summer (>/hm/)

>>117318i have many reaction pics of the same characters.ive got like half a dozen elsa reaction pics. it never gets deleted unless it's animu related for some reason.>>117616i'll try. but it's a bit difficult since you can reuse the same pic in multiple threads.

>>118604i dont see why people should be able to flood a board and then try to dictate how it's run.if u had a problem with me on the team or whatever then you should've said something back in february when i was added oh wait u weren't here.

>>118605Great, we have /qa/ "oldfags" now. I'm sure everyone who doesn't like you are just invaders of muh sekrit club and it's nothing to do with you acting half a twat on here. Don't know why you're acting so pretentious. We barely have a team or manager at the moment, Just ideas. Personally I don't see why you being added to the team is even a question, you're only a poster here, much like everyone else regardless of when you started posting.

>>118636Tripfags can't be memes. I don't know if it's an official 4Chan Cup rule or not, but I've never seen a player named after a tripfag and I'd like it to stay that way. I'll gladly concede that you're no worse than the average poster here, but you certainly aren't better and you don't deserve to have a player named after you if there is enough actual board culture for us to name all our players after ideas instead of individuals. Besides, what if another tripfag joined? What if I started posting with a name? Would we both have to be in the team? If ten other tripfags appeared, would the whole team consist entirely of them?

Right now, you're the only person who can be identified on this board. That doesn't make you special, or in any way more important than anyone else. We know who you are here, and that should be enough.

The board seemed to lean on "calm" colors such as blue and white, /qa/-tan is the undisputed captain, and tripfags aren't allowed on the team which is an unwritten 4cc rule anyway. The creation of the team is on the Implyingrigged wiki so if anyone can step up and create the prototype /qa/ team, I'm calling you now.

>>121273Is there a way to engineer a mechanic to change player names between bouts? I think it would be hilarious if we rigged it so that the "___" names switched to whatever board we were going up against next.

The cup is a biannual event (quadrennial if you include the babbies) where AI controlled teams representing a collection of 4chan boards compete against each other in the video game Pro Evolution Soccer.

>>122210The cup is held four times a year. Two Elite cups (1st division), two Babby cups (2nd division). Elite cups are held in Summer and Winter, Babby cups are held in Autumn and Summer. 32 teams compete in the Elite cups, 40 in the Babbies.

In Elite cups, teams are split into 8 groups of 4. For Babbies, 8 groups of 5. Each teams plays each other once until the top 2 qualify for the knockouts. The knockouts are single elimination matches.

In the Babby cups, the 16 teams that qualify for the knockouts are also promoted to the upcoming Elite cup. In the Elite cups, the 16 teams that finish 3rd and 4th in their groups are relegated.

The cup was created on August 6, 2011, with 16 boards competing for the Summer Cup, eventually won by /a/. Soon, the cup gained popularity and many other boards entered teams in different "foundings". The first founding, the Original Sixteen, competed in the 2011 Summer Cup. The Second Founding, involving 4 replacement boards, competed in the 2012 Winter Cup. The third founding, the Founding Babbies, saw 18 new teams created for the 2012 Spring Babby Cup, the inaugural Babby. The Fourth Founding saw 10 new teams compete in the 2012 Autumn Babby Cup, the Fifth Founding saw 8 new teams compete in the 2013 Autumn Babby Cup qualifiers, and the Sixth Founding, the "last desperate push to cram in more teams", saw 4 new teams compete in the 2014 Autumn Babby Cup.

The cup is run in Pro Evolution Soccer (currently PES 2015). The teams are created and tested by managers, who go by tripcodes to be identified. The 23 players on the team are named after culture on the board they play for (such as >rape for /mlp/ and Titty Monster for /h/). Each team has kits which usually reference the board in some way (/g/ has a microchip pattern kit, /b/ is jokingly sponsored by Reddit). Teams often have Blender models (3D software) so that the players actually represent the culture (/mlp/ has actual pony heads for instance).

>>122213Managers do not control the teams, but they are simulated with the AI on high difficulty and the manager's job is to use the tactics in the options to lead the team to victory, such as formations, playing style, cards and medals. They can manage live before and during the games for tactical changes and substitutions.

To prevent advantages, each team has a height limit, as well as outfield players having flat 77 stats in each field (goalkeepers have 70 I think). However, each team has four "medal" players: Two silver (88 stats) and two gold (99 stats). These players are best put up front.

Over time, the cup has witnessed controversies. In May 2013, the /sp/ manager discovered that /n/ manager Dragonfag was also managing at least 15 other teams, resulting in the relegation of /n/, /y/, /cm/, /hm/, /s/, /3/, /an/ and /o/, as well as the vacating on both of /sp/'s elite cup titles (although they were reinstated with one after further investigating). Another controversial moment occurred at the end of the 2015 Winter Cup, when it was discovered that /wsg/ manager Knicklicht was actually a banned /ic/ manager, resulting in /wsg/ and /ic/ being relegated but not competing in the Spring Babby Cup that followed (and they may not even come back). /fa/ are also pretty much permadead due to drama, their last cup game being a loss to /pol/ in the 2014 Spring Babby Cup Final.

And other than that, /mlp/ totally rigs everything, /sp/ can get FUUUUUUUUUCKED, it's two, benis, /merit/, mercs, big teams and small teams, le toucan has arrived, Foojile posting trips, Bet Rigtor, BENULDIES :DDD, THANK YOU MR. SNOWMAN, and all that other stuff from the /4ccg/ threads on /vg/ which you should never ever visit because it's a festering shithole :^)

>>122214>/mlp/ rigs everything: Ongoing butthurt in /4ccg/ that /mlp/ somehow rig the cup in their favor due to being a pony board. This is fueled by /mlp/ getting off scot free from the Dragongate scandal (Dragonfag was tester for /mlp/), /mlp/ winning the 2013 Babby Cup, and the team's ability to score 90+ matchwinning goals.>/sp/ can get FUUUUUUUUUCKED: I believe this was a song played after /sp/'s loss to /vp/ (?) in the 2014 Autumn Babby Cup (can be heard in Ved's 2015 Spring Babby Intro Day 9). Not sure where the vocaroo is.>It's two: /gd/ needed to beat /sp/ by two goals in the last group match of the 2014 Summer Cup to make the knockouts while relegating /sp/. They managed to score them in the 80th and 86th minutes, prompting the famous line: "KERNING TO GLITCH ART, IT'S TWO, IT'S TWO, IT'S TWO!">benis: When /4ccg/ gets bored it's time for benis.>/merit/: I don't really know, but it's either the secret horsefucker group or the admin chat group (help me out here)>merc: Managers who don't even go to the boards they manage and just want to manage something (not sure about the accuracy of this definition)>Big teams and small teams: The ongoing issue with small teams (/i/, /hr/) knocking out big teams (/a/, /sp/) and making the cup boring.>le toucan has arrived: Copypasta spammed in the Twitch chat during the cup.>Foojile posting trips: Former /fa/ manager Foojile spamming the thread with tripcodes.>Bet Rigtor: A namefag (later found to be Dragonfag) who opened a simulated betting market before each day's matches, where people could bet 10 RigBux on the outcomes of games. The house always won, but often came close to losing.>BENULDIES :DDD: Spurdo-fied version of penalties, used more often than the real word in chat when penalties happen.>THANK YOU MR. SNOWMAN: In the 2015 Winter Cup, the linesmen and referees were modeled to have snowman heads. Whenever a card or an offside was called, the chat would spam thanks for the snowman

Do you actually need some sort of experience with this game? I mean, I enjoy the cup, but in my life, I haven't touched or installed some version of this simulator game, so I would be a complete disaster at best.

>>124022Seeing as it's an unofficial friendly, I imagine you won't have to be verified via the IRC, so yeah, create an account on implying rigged and sign up /qa/ to play /gd/ on the friendlies.Pick any available slots on the first two days, not the third day though as /gd/ are already playing then.

>>124252I have a gtx690 but football is dumb and fantasy football teams based on anime imageboards is literally the highest form of autism on the spectrumUnless managers get paid for winning I don't see the point in wasting so much time.
